Let's clarify first. The "Voyager" is made by Kawasaki. Yamaha makes the Venture. 1200 Voyager is a good bike while the 1300 6 cylinder they also...
Not sure what you mean about it "drawing from the pilot well" but it draws from the bottom of the float bowl. When you remove the float bowl you...
Turning the screw in or clockwise leans the mixture. Turning it out or counterclockwise enrichens the mixture. Yes they will vary depending on...
I am not sure about the 650 since it has a crossover rather than a collector, but the 750 has a copper insert that seals the muffler to the...
It's a 6302. I would get a 6302 RS and take out the inner liner so the bearing seats.
For those of you who will be doing this in the spring. Find an old truck fuel filter and cut one end off and remove filter media. Add some fuel...
Here ya go! http://tinyurl.com/bfuge2
In Europe it was the Diversion and here it was the Seca 900. We first had it as the Seca with a 750 engine in 1984. It was the 900 frame with the...
The 650 and 750 carbs are the same externally so pull one of the float bowls and check the jet sizes. 750 should have a 120 main and 40 pilot.
We used these to clean plugs on aircraft engines. We used 27 micron oxide instead of 50 and cleaned the plugs afterward in 99% isopropyl alcohol...
I get part #5G2-13596-01-00 for the 82 650 Maxim and the 750 Maxim and Seca. The 80 and 81 Maxim 650's are different due to their not having a...
Yep, they shore will! They just have to be from an aircooled 750. The watercooled 750X engines have different intakes. The only 750 I know of that...
I had the float pins stick when I rebuilt my carbs. They were dragging in the float where rust had occurred. So I loaded the pin in a dremel tool...
The XJCD shows two different part numbers so it won't be a direct fit. Still may work so wait for someone to post who has tried one to see.
Hey Ridz!, where ya been? Merry Christmas to you and yours!
A little trick with the carbtune on podded carbs is to turn it upside down. You will be able to read it with the lower vacuum that way. That is if...
Can you turn the idle set screw down enough to keep the idle down to about 1500 RPM? If you can get the idle to stay that low then I would try the...
It should be the same as for the 83 model. Part # 5G2-14453-00-00. Even the 750 Seca's used the same airboots with the exception of the '84 Seca...
The fuel also surges forward in the float bowls when you stop and can cause a richer mixture or slight flooding. My Seca did this when new so...
If I remember correctly the tubes are drain tubes added to later Mikuni's to keep fuel out of the crankcase if the float valves and petcock...
I got my battery tender at Walmart for $17.97. It is a Schumacher which is an established and trusted name. I have used their chargers for years...
Yep I stand corrected. I work with 76% nickle alloys which would have a curie point of 280 C which would be 536 F. So for my alloy it would be...
They don't need to be cherry red just heated to 600 deg. F. There is no problem using old shims. This has been done for years. It is the valve...
The intake boot can be repaired without removing it. Very often one of the bolts will break off in the head which is a bad thing. So many avoid...
I you just think they are not in right all you need to do is use a large socket to seat them. The socket should fit the outside bearing race and...
I have purchased from Mike's and also highly recommend him. He is one of those guys who make things better for us XJ/XS riders.
Hey guys, I'm home now. Rex, you know I love ya man! Thanks for the thoughts and prayers. I really appreciate and need them. I can't type well...
19K is way too soon for them to go. Mine lasted past 60k.
The choke circuit pulls fuel from the small brass tube that goes to the bottom of the float bowl. This is the jet in the above post. So yes, it...
Jets are available at www.motorcyclecarbs.com A stuck throttle could cause the high idle but not gas in the oil. That is a combination of a...
This begs for a good carb cleaning. And now! If the engine is running that hot it won't be long before the cylinder head warps. The idle circuit...
I would do a Seafoam dose before diving into carbs. To clean the carbs and retune you need to invest in some special tools or attend a carb...
It is common for a float valve to stick after installing the carbs. Tap the sides a few times with the handle of a screwdriver and the black smoke...
The motor mounts are interchangable so as long as you have the mounts from your current bike you are good to go. Yamaha made the cases with dual...
Great news! Now before installing that new exhaust, paint the bottom of the collector with Duplicolor 1200 deg high temp paint. This will preserve...
With that setup it is hard to say. A high idle is either a misadjusted idle screw or a lean mixture at idle. The idle set screw is located at the...
Right about 4700. I remember my Maxim pulled 5k RPM at 65 MPH.
I would take great care in doing this. Remember that the tire will spread out and widen with load applied. So make certain you leave enough room...
Had this discussion before and GL-5 is bad on brass parts. My understanding is that there are no brass parts in the final drive. However, GL-4...
Wheelbase: XJ1100J = 60.8 inches XJ750J = 56.9 inches Couldn't find seat height info in the owners manual.
http://tinyurl.com/3lc3km Here is where to get the JET HOT coating.
The BBQ paint is for header pipes where the heat is so high. Regular paint could actually flame up from the heat with the engine running. I used...
As far as I know, no. The risers for the standard bars should bolt right onto the top triple tree in place of the '82 adjustable bars. I just...
Yes. You will need the "risers" and bars from a bike with the standard bars.
That's not stock. Nice job though. I assume from your question that you still have the stock fuse box on top of the airbox. If not then this is...
I bought a set of assorted pins for a few bucks ($2 or $3) and kept them with my bike. Nice addition to any tool bag.
The rubber part is a seal. It just need to be protected to keep it from road debris and drying out. Behind it is oil and the main bearing just as...
Robert I posted a pic of the bearings in my gallery if you need to reference it.
Well I'm still finding XJ parts. I have a complete wiring harness with relays for a 1983 Maxim 750. $20 plus shipping.
Yes the races are included.
